Time at which a day starts. The initial setting is 00:00. How a day is managed depends on whether
the specified time is before or after noon. If you specify 09:00, a day starts at 9:00 and ends at 8:59 on
the following day. If you specify 21:00, a day starts at 21:00 on the previous day and ends at 20:59.

(3) Elapsed time
Time elapsed from the start time (origin time). Unless otherwise specified, this is the elapsed time on
the current day.

(4) Identification ID
16 digits that indicate the MAC address of the signal lamp. (If the MAC address consists of less than
16 digits, preceding zeros are added.) The MAC address uniquely identifies the signal lamp.

(5) Off
Refers to the state where only the specified color of the signal lamp is off.

(6) Operation light
Component color pattern of the signal lamp that indicates operation(7) Alarm light
Component pattern of the signal lamp that indicates an error (stop)(8) Count function
Whether to use the signal lamp count function. If you use all the colors of the signal lamp for the onor flash state, this function cannot be used. You can specify whether to use this function for each signal
lamp.

(9) Monitoring time
Time during which the signal lamp was monitored. Normally, this time is the same as the specified
fixed time or the elapsed time. When the fixed time is not specified, however, the monitoring time does
not include the time during which there is a failure in the communication required for monitoring signal
lamps and the break times. If a communication failure occurs, the following is possible. A signal lampthat is always on or flash can be used to determine the monitoring time.
